  See: ◄P-Code Data Types►
 
  Description
 
  Performs a right shift by one. It pops the top stack element off of the
  stack, shifts it right by one, and pushes the new value back onto the
  stack.
 
  Pseudocode equivalent:
 
  u2 = popW();
  u1 = popW();
  pushW(u1 >> u2);
 
  This can be generated as follows:
 
  uTest1 = uTest2 >> 1;    /* generates ShrW */
